Outreach
REU luncheon
On June 5, 2017, the Rice iGEM team collaborated with the Rice University Institute of Biosciences and Bioengineering (IBB) to give a presentation for the participants of the BioNetworks NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. In the one hour presentation, our team gave an overview of synthetic biology, iGEM, our iGEM project last year, our brainstorming process, and our iGEM project this year.
The participants in the REU event were undergraduates enrolled in the NSF REU BioNetworks Program at Rice University (program description here). Participants were in their 1st week of the 10 week training program, and as a result still had little exposure to biological research projects.
SAST presentation
On June 22, 2017, we spoke with high school students from the Science Academy of South Texas (SAST) about the basics of synthetic biology and our experiences doing undergraduate research both through iGEM and in other research groups. We also spoke briefly about our iGEM project and last year’s iGEM project.
The participants in the SAST event were high school students and science teachers from the Science Academy of South Texas in Mercedes, Texas. Most of the students when asked indicated that they had an interest in pursuing STEM degrees/careers.
Rice University Summer Research Programs in Biosciences & Bioengineering 2017 Poster Symposium
University of Texas Fall Undergraduate Research Symposium
This was the Rice iGEM team’s second year to present at the University of Texas Fall Undergraduate Research Symposium (FURS). Not only was it an opportunity to share our research, but we were also able to meet with the UT and Texas Tech iGEM teams. This meeting led to an exciting modeling collaboration with the UT team. We were honored to be the Computational and Synthetic Biology session award winner.
Gulf Coast Undergraduate Research Symposium
The Gulf Coast Undergraduate Research Symposium (GCURS) on November 4, 2017 will be the final formally organized event at which we will present our research and spread awareness about CrVI before the Jamboree. We will be presenting in the Systems, Synthetic, and Physical Biology division to Rice students and professors and to visitors from other institutions alike. Through this event, we hope to spread information about CrVI to people from the regions surrounding Houston who might also find elevated CrVI levels in their water and to reflect on all the work we have done for iGEM this year.
